Did you know that giraffes eat bones?

Marthall B. “Shim Slady” Mashers III is afraid of giraffes?

Why are they using a spitting nerd to introduce the word ‘Coolth’?

I play games, and it doesn’t give me creativity.

I purposely gave illogical answers on an on-line IQ test. I got an extremely high creativity rank. IQ, not so high…..yep, video games.

Believe it or not, the street at the western end of Eight Mile Road in Michigan (for which Eminem’s movie is named) is named Marshall, which is Eminem’s real first name! In 2005, I drove 8 Mile from end to end.

I’d walk a mile for a Camel…but, I’d run a marathon to avoid a giraffe!!

I have never heard of coolth but whaddaya know, it’s in the dictionary!

giraffes are real good at necking

Yeah, well Snickers is afraid of orangutans. And Abba Zabba, I don’t even want to talk about that.

Take care, may fun loving neurosurgeon Jonathan “Slappy” Blutigehändord be with you, and gesundheit.

America must have the most creative new generation.

So long as he avoids zoos, Eminem should be safe.

One of the things I dislike about the digital era compared to the era of real books and things, is that it was so much more difficult for the Ministry of Truth to rewrite things and change all the copies in a world of physical items than it would be for billionaires in charge of high tech companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook to run a program and insert a word like “coolth” into the middle of the digital record. I’d never heard of “coolth” before, but a Google search says it entered the dictionary in the 1500’s. Or are we in the Matrix now? And were we always there?

I’m afraid of rhinoceroses,but nobody offers me millions for MY singing.

I’d be scared too if a giraffe was chasing me!!!

Having the top of my head chewed on by a giraffe at the San Diego Zoo, I’ll join Eminem in his cause. My support stops short of monetary contributions, however.

How many giraffes are in Michigan?

It took me a while to learn that giraffes aren’t just tall but huge all over. Their heads alone are intimidating.

Our humor now days has been reduce to this level Nice try tator.

Yikes.

Giraffes are insincere.

I was gonna post a Cajun joke once, months and months ago, but Tuco came along and seemed to be doing purty well with his Cajun stories, so I just backed off and let him handle ’em. Pretty soon a few more folks came along with Cajun jokes, and, well, I never was really happy backing away from an entire joke category, so just this once before the new RBION comes out at Midnight, I thought I ’d share just one.

A long time ago, Boudreaux, believe it or not, was known among his friends to be very brief an to the point – he really never said too much. One day, an Avon lady knocked his door and asked to see his wife, so Boudreaux told her that Marie wasn’t home. “Well,” the woman said, “could I please wait for her?” Boudreaux directed her to the kitchen and left her sitting there for more than three hours. Starting to worry, she called out for him an asked, “May I ask where your wife is?” “She went to the cemetery,” Boudreaux replied. “And when is she coming back?” “Mais, I really don’t know,” he said. “She’s been der eleven years now!”

Sorry. Tuco, the rest of them are your’s now.

I’ve been playing video games since the mid 70s and I still play them and my “creativity” is just as bad as it was back then.
